Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds sweet potatoes (peeled and cut into bite size (1/4-inch) cubes)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
1 medium red bell pepper (diced into small pieces)
4 scallions (white and tender green parts, sliced)
1/4 cup minced cilantro leaves
3 tablespoons lime juice (plus grated zest of 1 lime)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (according to your taste)
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400° F. Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and some salt and pepper on a sheet pan. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer; roast until just tender, about 25 minutes. Let cool slightly and then transfer to a large bowl. Add the bell pepper, scallions and cilantro.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, the lime juice and zest, chili powder, cumin, a generous pinch of salt, and a couple of grinds of black pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad; toss very gently. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. This dish can be assembled a day in advance. Some think it improves with a day of melding in the fridge.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO SALAD WITH BLACK BEANS AND CHILE DRESSING



Roasted Sweet Potato Salad With Black Beans and Chile Dressing image

Start with sweet potatoes, which are in season, beautiful and cheap, and roast them with red onion and olive oil. Roasting instead of boiling makes a huge difference: not only do you get a rich, smoky flavor, but the peeled exterior is toughened a bit so that the potatoes stay intact when tossed with the other ingredients. You can serve this sweet potato salad warm or at room temperature; it's great both ways.

SWEET POTATO SALAD WITH CHILI-LIME DRESSING



Sweet Potato Salad with Chili-Lime Dressing image

Provided by Lauren Chattman

Categories     Salad     Lime     Bell Pepper     Sweet Potato/Yam     Summer     Cilantro

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 medium-size red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/4 inch dice [See how on streaming video]
4 scallions, white and light green parts, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Place the sweet potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until just tender, 7 to 10 minutes (don't overcook or your salad will be mushy and falling apart.) Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, make the dressing. Whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, cilantro, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Add the red bell pepper and scallions to the potatoes and toss with the dressing. Season again with salt and pepper. Serve warm or refrigerate and bring to room temperature before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the sweet potatoes: Overcooked sweet potatoes will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them until they are tender when pierced with a fork, but not so long that they start to fall apart.
  • Use a good-quality olive oil: The olive oil you use in the dressing will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad. Choose a fruity, extra-virgin olive oil that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the dressing to your taste: The dressing recipe is a starting point. Feel free to add more or less lime juice, chili powder, or honey to suit your own preferences.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Sweet potato salad is best served fresh. The dressing will start to break down the sweet potatoes if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for summer picnics and potlucks. It is also a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. With its sweet and savory flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
